After watching this video I started loading. 223 with 3031. It is a nicely accurate powder. I have found that if I want to load 24.6 grains of 3031, my case has to be at least 1.760" long. Anything shorter and the case will not hold 24.6 grains. The 24.6 pretty much fills the cases to the top. My conclusion is, with coarse stick powder you need all of the case length you can get.

I did NOT go above the Lee book top load of 24.6. 24.6 was also on the IMR web page as top load. for me 24.0 grains was best with Hornady 55 fmjbt bullet at 2.260 OAL. .650 to .900 was were it was with all groups at 100 yards. BUT boy first time with 3031 it is long stick powder. Doesn't meter great. I checked every load.

I do shoot some 55gr Hornady's in the WOA gun but don't expect MOA groups. There are so many garbage 55gr FMJ bullets on the market like Winchester's and LC that are 3MOA at best.

Most cheap bullets have a large weight difference from one to another. Hornady like Sierra have tight tolerances on weight and the weight difference is little or none. I use to hand weigh bulk bullets for better groups. When I buy bulk and buy Hornady I don't have to weigh. As a whole bulk bullets don't shoot all that well. Hornady is an exception. I get great results with 62 grain HPBT in my .223 and 22-250. I was interested in the Bobs with your videos but I can buy Hornady's in bulk for about the same money. A couple cents difference isn't anything to the cost of the entire round.

@NightSniper644 жыл бұрын
Brian, since you are new to reloading it is important for you to know that all brass is different. The case capacity varies by brand. You need to watch your pressure signs. Start lower and work your way up. Keep your eye on the primers after firing. Make sure that when you pick up range brass you F/L resize it. There is a very good tool to have. Its called QuickLoads. Its a program on the computer and it can help greatly as a guide. I run Hodgdon H4895 and CFE223. These powders are great. The H4895 is a cleaner burning powder than the CFE223, but you can achieve faster velocities. Hope this helps.
@brianmaney86874 жыл бұрын
Thanks Mark. That’s very helpful info. I was actually just learning about different brass having various load capacities. I recently found that my 14.5 556 midlength upper really loves 23.3 grains of this powder, and my 18” rifle gas 223 wylde upper likes it hotter at the max load of 24.6 grains (I don’t have the balls to push it beyond that... YET lol). I’ll be sure to check out quickloads. Thanks again mark. Greatly appreciate it.

At 24.4 grains my average velocity was 2924 fps and my ES was 22 fps. At 26.0 grains, my average velocity was 3114 fps and my ES was 62 fps. In fact, my readings were consistently higher across the board than yours was. How could that be? Your longer, 18", barrel should be faster than my shorter, 16", barrel, should it not? I was using mixed brass and winchester srp primers. Could the primers make that much of a difference in the muzzle velocities?

Maybe in the next video of the Bob's vs Hornady you should shoot a couple groups M193 55gr. Ball ammo to compare as well. Might be interesting.

Could it be the hard crimp seating in the deeper cannelure with everything else considered be the reason for the accuracy/consistency of the Hornady bullet? Awesome vid! Also, you have to get a copy of Lyman's AR Reloading Handbook

You don’t need to be factory crimping those Hornady bullets.

I have a quick question as I am a new reloader and getting my components now. I'm just wondering about bullet selection I am useing a Lyman reloading manual. I am reloading 223 and I wann select say a 55 gr bullet. So I go and it says jacketed spt. I am just wondering for when your looking for a bullet do you just go by grains. Like can I use same section for the 55 gr fmj bullets. Or do I need to go with exact bullet they use.thanks in advance

Another great video. Any chance you might delve into why certain powders might be a good combinations with a certain bullet ? You allude to it but is there a method other than curiosity or previous experience.? I usually go with the fastest velocities in reloading book, but is this the best method? Thanks again for excellent series!

Of course you know I am not a reloader yet and in no way do I have any knowledge. The reason I mentioned that is because I have a question about this video. Is it possible that seating the hornaday a little bit lower and having a tighter crimp then you did with the Bob's bullet is the reason for the results you got?
